It isn’t easy to drive targeted traffic to your website — but with some hard work and these nine tips, it’s more than possible! Check out this post for more insight into how to increase website visits!

5. Check Your Website for Errors

Website design can be a tricky business, and it’s very easy to overlook small problems that can have a big impact on your website. Error codes are the types of problems that most websites have at least some of, if not all, of.

The first thing you should usually check is your site’s FTP area for any files with an error code next to them (the list will look like 12-something). These files will need to be deleted and re-uploaded so you can then check their source code to see what may have caused the error in the first place. Check your website’s directory structure as well for any source code errors in coding or broken links. Finally, check your blog posts, press releases and anything else you might have in a folder labeled “FINAL – FINAL”; this is where you should target any errors found.

The second most common error on website are 404 errors or “Page Not Found.” The most efficient way to fix these errors is to simply add the appropriate Apache module file and restart your server. If that doesn’t work, and the site is not your own, then you can try entering the error code in a search engine and asking for further help with it – often websites will have a contact method by which the public can get in touch with their Webmaster.

6. Add a Press Release

Press releases are a great way to spread the word about your website and what you have to offer that no one else does. If you’re looking for an easy way to get more visitors on your site, add a press release! Press releases can be sent out over email or as part of your marketing plan on various news sources and will bring new visitors in droves. What’s great about press releases is that they are often re-written and published in their entirety, which means not only will you be getting visitors from the press release itself, but also from any copycats who want to give you some free publicity.

7. Free and Paid Social Media Marketing

Social media marketing is a booming industry that reaches millions of people on a daily basis, which means it’s pretty easy to find people to work with as well. Many experts agree that social media is the best type of marketing tool out there, but some also warn you against using it as your only marketing strategy.

The free methods are great for getting the word out about your site in the community, but it’s better to stick to paid advertising when possible for maximum results – especially if you want general traffic.

Conclusion

There are many ways to break through the competitive online market and get more visitors to your website – but all of these tips are a great start. One way or another, you’ll find something that fits your site and your budget, so try out a few different strategies until you find one that works for you. Whether you choose free methods such as search engine optimization, public relations releases or paid social media marketing, there will be a strategy for every website so just follow your gut down the path that feels right!
